The company differentiates itself through its large merchant network, bank-partner funding model, and a specialized fintech platform that enables merchants to offer financing quickly at the point of sale. Its goal is to expand access to large-ticket purchases by providing quick, convenient financing solutions that boost sales for merchants and provide borrowers with flexible payment options.
